Sophomore radiography students are required to write a technical paper that is evaluated by a panel of judges appointed by which organization?

• A. Mississippi Society of Radiologic Technologists (M.S.R.T.)
• B. American Society of Radiologic Technologists
• C. Mississippi Board of Radiologic Imaging
• D. National Radiologic Association

Answer: (A)

The main idea is knowing which organization assigns the panel of judges for student technical papers in this program. In Mississippi, that role is handled by the Mississippi Society of Radiologic Technologists, which serves as the state-level professional group for radiologic technologists and often coordinates student activities, competitions, and the judging of papers. Being the state chapter of the national ASRT connects it to broader professional standards while focusing on local involvement.

The national American Society of Radiologic Technologists exists, but its scope is national and it doesn’t typically appoint local judge panels for a specific college program. The Mississippi Board of Radiologic Imaging is a regulatory body focused on licensure and practice standards rather than evaluating student papers. The National Radiologic Association isn’t a recognized body in this context.
